As a follow-up of last week's discipleship point of becoming good soil, it's good to ask what it will take to put ourselves in a position for our souls to thrive, to allow God to put our souls in position to thrive.

What follows is not an answer to create that environment, but a question to cause you to consider what it will take to provide such an environment. It is taken from Ransomed Heart Ministries prayer entitled Becoming Good Soil, particularly the line, “I confess that I need to live more deeply in a habitat that allows my soul to thrive.”

Ask yourself: Have I built a habitat in my world that allows or even induces my soul to thrive? What could I do differently to help my soul further flourish and prosper?

Discipleship Prayer

Father God, I want to flourish as Your child; I am willing to humble myself under Your mighty hand and let You shape my world, my “soil,” in order to better accommodate the presence of Your word in my life. Bring it on; bring it in; let it grow; let me grow in Jesus’ name. Amen.
